The Westertor was built around 1150 and rebuilt several times. It got its current appearance after the Thirty Years' War, in 1660.

The Westertor is a city gate in the Upper Swabian town of Memmingen in Bavaria. It stands on the west side of the old town between the Dungeon Tower and the Lindau Gate.
Its appearance goes back to the bombardment by the Imperial troops in the Thirty Years' War. At that time it looked similar to the Ulm and Kempter Gates today. An octagonal structure sits on the rectangular base, similar to the St. Martin's Tower. It is topped off with a Welsch hood. Inside and outside there is a small shield in the shape of a coat of arms with the imperial eagle and the double city coat of arms.
The history of the Westertor begins with the city of Memmingen becoming a town. It was built as early as 1150 and replaced by a high gable roof gate in the 14th century. After being bombarded by the imperial troops in the Thirty Years' War, it was renovated in 1648. In 1660 it was rebuilt into its current form.
